Energy

Knowledgeable people in the energy industry have moved toward wind and solar in place of nuclear. Their plan is to build 1000 foot tall wind mills in the Great Plains from Texas to North Dakota and build transmission lines to carry that power east to where the population lives. The plan is to build solar farms in the Southwest and send that to the west coast population centers. The two main objections to nuclear have been overcome. The first being safety and the second cost. The remaining objection is that it will take too long to build which is true especially if you don't start. What is not discussed is the politics behind wind and solar and the mining, processing and disposing of the materials needed for wind and solar. It is a slow process but the above scenario is slowly being turned up side down. As people start to better understand what is not being discussed it will open their eyes to the hidden problems of wind and solar and a new understanding of nuclear. By mid century people will look back and realize how much was invested in something that didn't work. They are already realizing the folly of electric cars and the rest will follow in time.
